Programmer I

As a mid-size Contract Research Organisation (CRO), Veramed prides itself on two key areas: providing the highest quality statistics and programming consultancy for its clients, and giving its employees an industry leading working environment, support and development for growth. We don’t believe in a universal model for Programmers, which is why you’ll find the unique responsibilities, daily interactions and opportunities for each Programmer type we’re hiring for on our Programmer careers page. Understanding each Programmer type can help you set a more clear career path and work in a role that is suited to your skills and personality.

Due to the experience levels expected as a Programmer I, you will start off working more directly as a Delivery Programmer. This will allow you to build a strong skill foundation and gain the necessary industry knowledge before expanding your horizon into becoming a different type of Programmer, or mix of Programmer types.

At its core, the role of the Programmer I is to provide programming support to the statistics and programming department across a range of projects, clients and therapeutic areas. 

Minimum requirements as a Programmer I:

  • BSc, MSc or PhD in numerical discipline (or relevant equivalent industry experience)
